Formula Breakdown
Percentage Increase
((New Value - Original Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100
For example, if a price increases from $80 to $100:
((100 - 80) ÷ 80) × 100 (20 ÷ 80) × 100 0.25 × 100 = 25% increase
Percentage Decrease
((Original Value - New Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100
For example, if a price decreases from $100 to $75:
((100 - 75) ÷ 100) × 100 (25 ÷ 100) × 100 0.25 × 100 = 25% decrease
